Chapter 152 I'm a wizard, so what if my health bar is empty?
Damp, sticky, and cold, like a swamp and a cave blended together, that was Kane's first feeling after being jolted out of the pipe.
Kane summoned a light, illuminating his surroundings; aha, the little pumpkin didn't follow...
Could it be that Slytherin's classification belongs to the cave? But this wouldn't be difficult for Kane.
Thanks to the fact that the little pumpkin had been corrupted by his shadow into a shadow pumpkin, Kane simply took out a crumpled top hat from his pocket, thoroughly corrupted it with his shadow, and turned it into a magician's top hat.
The Magician's Top Hat can connect to the space inside the Shadow Pumpkin's belly, although it's not very useful in combat.
But when Kane took out the chocolate from the little pumpkin—a gift from his selfless and beautiful Ravenclaw senior—and put it in his mouth, a strange sense of security enveloped him once again.
Soon, with another series of clanging sounds from the pipes behind him, Dumbledore was unceremoniously flung out of the pipes by Lord Bull using the force of gravity.
"Hmm, I really should have brought Fawkes with me." Dumbledore was old and frail after all, and it took him a while to sit on the ground before he stood up again and waved his wand.
The next moment, Kane felt that the light was too wide and too bright, so he closed his eyes because he was not used to it. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the whole picture of the secret room.
A huge secret chamber, roughly the size of the Great Hall, or rather, a one-to-one replica of the Hogwarts Great Hall in terms of its design.
Even the starry sky ceiling of the Great Hall is here. Of course, the starry sky in the Great Hall is a magical starry sky, while the starry sky here is a huge piece of obsidian, inlaid with luminous pearls of varying sizes. Dumbledore just waved his wand to activate the luminous pearls.
The only difference is that there is only a portrait of Slytherin's head here, and nothing else.
"Hmm, it's quite obvious that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets... is so simple that I can hardly believe it." Dumbledore looked up at it with the same gazing as a first-year wizard seeing the entrance hall of Hogwarts for the first time.
Even though the Chamber of Secrets and the Hallway are not much different in essence, and you can even occasionally see wizard battles between young wizards in the Hallway, the Chamber of Secrets only has Slytherin's big face.
Kane was behind, and Dumbledore was in front, both staring intently at the Slytherin statue as if there were flowers on its face.
However, it is obvious that no matter how you look at them, flowers will not grow on the statue's face.
"So, did Tom trick me? There's nothing here left by Slytherin, except for his statue, we didn't even see the Basilisk?"
Kane shrugged impatiently, complaining. After all, he came to this secret chamber for the sake of bloodshed, whether it was his blood or the basilisk's blood that flowed, someone had to die.
But the current situation is like an old pervert who has been longing to find the mysterious room according to the address on the card, and after spending most of the night looking through the window, he is told by another friend that he can pay to go straight in.
Upon entering, I discovered that, let alone the special services I desired, they hadn't even prepared a bed for me.
Everyone has emotions when they come.
"No, I have to ask Tom properly." Kane said, taking off the magician's top hat he was wearing and taking the book about Tom out of the little pumpkin's mouth through the hat.
Just as he was about to turn over, Dumbledore interrupted him.
"I don't think it's that bad, Kane."
"Hmm?" The person Dumbledore was referring to was looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?"
Dumbledore watched as Kane held the book of Tom and put his top hat back on his head, and slowly said, "To be honest, Kane, you give me a very strange feeling."
Kane raised an eyebrow. "Huh? I didn't know the Hogwarts headmaster was also a counselor?"
"Hmph..." Dumbledore chuckled twice, "To my shame, I only realized how important psychological counseling is after I had completely pushed Tom to the opposite side of the wizarding world."
"And you, Kane, to be honest, I think you desperately need it." Dumbledore slowly led Kane around the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets: "That's why you've lived to be over a hundred and still so cheerful and happy, never giving up on any new experience in life."
"Even in the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin, I will try my best to experience new things that I have never experienced in my long life, such as having a heart-to-heart talk with you here."
Dumbledore gestured for Kane to hurry up, and Kane, somewhat helplessly, as if playing with a child, indeed quickened his pace: "Isn't finding the Basilisk our most important task right now?"
"We've waited for most of the semester, a few more minutes won't make a difference. Besides, the young wizards are all wearing glasses, and the professors have all taken potions, so there's no rush. Perhaps we should try to solve the mystery and explore this empty chamber. Maybe by some twist of fate we'll find a mechanism that will lead us to a chamber within a chamber." Dumbledore said, tapping the wall next to him with his wand. He unleashed a huge revealing spell, but it had no effect.
"So what does this have to do with us going around in circles here right now?" Kane said with a hint of helplessness.
"So why did your first reaction be to seek Tom's help instead of trying it yourself? You only live once, why not try more new things? Cracking the Slytherin Chamber isn't an experience most people have."
Kane shrugged helplessly: "It's just because we have different personalities. I only play when I want to have fun, but when it comes to serious business, I'm very efficient."
"We're the same. I only brought you around here because I knew the basilisk wouldn't go back to Hogwarts Castle to attack the young wizards. Besides, I like to play too, so I brought this along specifically for fun."
As Dumbledore spoke, he took out the sunglasses that Kane had ordered from the Muggle community with Lupin and put on his face.
"You know, because my magic is so powerful, I have never experienced what it feels like to be petrified in all these years."
Kane rolled his eyes: "You don't necessarily have to find the Basilisk. The Eye of Medusa can help you too." Kane didn't mince words. He took out the Eye of Medusa from his pocket, activated it, and aimed it at Dumbledore. Anyway, the petrification effect of this thing can be removed with a simple anti-spell.
However, when Kane actually took out the Eye of Medusa, with a crisp cracking sound, the Eye of Medusa shattered into pieces resembling granulated sugar.
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow; he had just seen the real... Basilisk Eye in the reflection of Medusa's Eye.
"Ah~ I admit Kane, I was a bit reckless this time. Hmm, resist a little longer, I only need half a minute. After all, this is the Basilisk's magic, not a wizard's magic." After Dumbledore finished speaking, he couldn't move an inch, like a fleshy statue.
Clearly, after being weakened three times, the attack power of the Basilisk Eye has become a prank spell similar to petrifying everything.
Dumbledore had seen the Basilisk Eye, which had been weakened three times. He could break free from such a spell in half a minute if he wanted to.
Kane, on the other hand, was different. He truly withstood the real Basilisk Eye in the shadows solely by relying on potions.
With the potion transferring the Basilisk Eye's instant-death effect on the soul entirely to the body, Kane felt that if he could still feel his health bar...
There should be only 1 left.
With Kane's health bar reduced to 1, it was already quite an achievement for him to remain standing. The book of Tom that he had been carrying under his arm slowly fell to the ground, unfolded, and the words on it came into view.
【I'm sorry, Kane, I lied to you. Obviously, the true heir of Slytherin returning to the Chamber of Secrets should receive some superior treatment, such as enhanced senses, the ability to control the Basilisk, and the ability to sense that you... are about to die.】
Kane raised an eyebrow: "You're right, I really almost died."
However, before he was even close to it, Kane felt he should praise one person: Snape. His potion really did have some effect; although his health bar was down to 1, his sanity and magic power were still full.
He slowly raised his head, clicked his tongue as he watched the basilisk rushing towards him and Dumbledore.
The next moment, an overwhelming shadow appeared from an impossible place, namely the ceiling that was emitting a frightening light. The two were clearly distinct, like water and oil. Then suddenly, the shadow descended from above like a meteorite falling from the sky, pressing down straight down in the most unsophisticated but surprisingly effective way.
